Stranger's Love

Chapter 4

"Yes ..."

"Your baby is disturbing the office" the receptionist said rudely

"Laura , why don't you do your job and let me handle this" he said not pleased with her

"Sir she's been waiting here for three hours refusing to leave I told her you were busy but she ..."

"You made her wait three hours  ? She has a baby with her Laura, it's not easy to wait that long with a infant ." He was genuinely feeling bad; he had a niece and knows it can be hard sometimes for the parents

Suman was taken aback she didn't think he would stand up like that for her .

"She doesn't have an appointment I told her your book till next month but she decided to wait it out"

Shravan looked at Suman who was looking at him pleadingly "Listen this is really important"

He could see that this woman drove a long way with her baby and didn't want to let her hanging she waited all this time , the minimum he could do is meet her .

"Listen Mam , it will be my pleasure meeting you but you have to give me fifteen minutes .."

Suman smiled  "sure no problem."

He nodded going to his office , the younger lawyer stood behind her his name was Pushkar

"I'm free if you want I can listen to your case ..."

"No I need to meet Mr.Shravan"

" Ok ,but  if you have any other problems , I'm Pushkar I also work here as a lawyer ." He said giving her his card , he freshly started as a lawyer and was excited to embark into this career .

She nodded smiling seeing  his friendly face  "thank you" she sat back down and started rocking the baby chair making Aarav settle down but he was still squirming in his seat .

"Mam , please come in" Shravan said politely holding the door for her

"Umm my name is Suman Tiwari" she walked in sharing a brief gaze with him

He smiled amused "ok Welcome to my office Mrs . Tiwari .."

She sat on the chair opposite his office table "umm Miss Tiwari" she corrected

Shravan didn't know why but this girl was making him smile more and more .

Aarav was now crying loud , she excused herself picking him up in her arms "chikku I told you to behave your crying too much" she started rocking him in her arms

Shravan leaned against his chair watching this young woman taking care of her baby . He somehow found it endearing .Her lips pursed struggling to open the baby bag .

"Here let me help .." he opened the zip as she grabbed the baby bottle

"Thanks" her voice waved with a slight nervousness ,she was sure she looked like a mess and his intense eyes looking at her didn't help .Araav started sucking on the bottle calming down

"So how can I help you today ?" he asked

"Sorry about all this ..I just have some news for you .."

Shravan folded his arm on the desk listening attentively

"Well there's a chance that ...this baby is yours" she could feel the anxiousness dip in her stomach, he was a rich wealthy guy , a lawyer who can easily put a defaming case on her ! She wasn't sure how he was going to react.

Shravan was quiet for few seconds and then started laughing shaking his head "Look I'm flattered, but I don't think I ever met you and I don't remember sleeping with you" He cleared with an impish smile
